ソーシャルリンク:

John Grisham is an American novelist known for legal thrillers that explore crime, justice, and the U.S. legal system. His best-known books include A Time to Kill, The Firm, and The Pelican Brief. A longtime bestselling author, he has sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide, with many novels adapted for film.

経歴と著者の歩み

John Grisham was born on February 8, 1955, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and grew up in Southaven, Mississippi, after a childhood shaped by frequent family moves. He earned a degree in accounting from Mississippi State University in 1977 and a law degree from the University of Mississippi in 1981, then built a legal career in criminal defense and personal injury while also serving in the Mississippi legislature during the 1980s. The major turning point came after he observed a rape trial in 1984; the testimony stayed with him and became the spark for A Time to Kill. That first novel, published in 1989, had a modest start, but The Firm, released in 1991, transformed him from practicing lawyer into a full-time novelist.
